The Long War.

There's a few of you out there that know I'm a figure owning maniac. I seem to have a bit of a love affair with a lot of the old stuff, like early Grenadier and Ral Parthas, but I also have a lot of the Warhammer figs, too, despite being much more of a roleplayer than a wargamer. After all the terrain I've been doing, it'd be a shame not to have a bunch of stuff painted up for it, right?

Even though I do have a significant amount of figures painted, the great majority are not. So begins the great Painting Campaign of 2018. My idea is to just grab all the figures of a certain type that will have similar color themes and do them all at the same damn time.

First up: the GreenSkins. Every orc, troll, gobbo, etc I could find got gathered up and base coated black.

Note, some figures were done or started previously so I brought them along to for color reference and/or completion.

Then the painting begins:

As I have sooooo many minis, I'm not shooting for 'eavy metal quality, just decent looking on the table results:

As you can see from the first pic, I'm done with the greenies. Sure there's some banners and shields looking awful blank and perhaps some questionable color choices, but they're finished damn it!

So, what's next? What I call my Vermin. Pretty much all the hairy stuff: Minotaurs, beast men, skaven, lycanthropes, and giant rats, spiders, and bats. Completing these will mean my Warhammer Quest boxed set is fully painted, too!

Then: Undead, scaly stuff (lizard men mostly, think all my snakes and snakemen are already done), and chaos warriors/chaos dwarves, which will complete a butt-ton of figures.

Afterwards I may attempt to work on sci-fi stuff, especially ones that would work in a fantasy rpg. Imagine yourself deep in a megadungeon when suddenly: Genestealers! Lictor! Tyranids!

Or... deep beneath the pyramids you hear a fine hum of machinery and a Necron Spider-Wraith Terminator thingy floats towards you! Roll for initiative!
